Looking for a fun bridal shower idea? Think pink! A glam girl party is simple to do and something that everyone will get a kick out off. The nice thing about this theme is that more is more: more pink, more sparkles, more feather boas...

For the invitation: Remember, nothing sets the tone for your party like the right invite! You can choose from several different options for this theme: martini glasses, luxe scrolls, or bold pink block print. Make it clear on the invite if there is also a theme for gifts, such as sexy lingerie or fashion jewelry.

For the cocktails: It’s always fun to have a "signature" drink at the party and name it after the bride-to-be. This need not be complicated, make a madras or champagne cocktail and just throw in an extra splash of fruit juice or liquor...and voila, you have your "Lucy." Garnish glasses with pink sugar rims or lime wedges and add different patterned ribbons around the stem to serve as glass labels.

For the food: This type of party lends itself to the sweet tooth screaming inside all of us. Sweet tables resplendent with hard candy, cupcakes, and petit fours are a great option. However, don’t neglect offering at least one savory appetizer, such as a simple cheese platter.

For the decorations: In an era of sophisticated minimalism, it is refreshing to throw a party that is bright and bold and fun! Pair bright pink with fun animal prints or modern black and white prints. Use beads and feathers to give texture to your centerpieces.
